Camo guy's thread about cams





Re: Installing new cam

Yep, figured that out as soon as I posted that. Otherwise the pull out seems pretty straight forward, disconnect all the hoses and stuff, remove radiator and fan, disconnect the transmission from the wheels, remove the mounts, disconnect exhaust. Sounds pretty straight forward.
 
Re: Installing new cam

I disconnected my power steering lines only thing I left was ac compressor and never removed my radiator or fans either.
 
Re: Installing new cam

Did you have problems with air in the power steering lines? And since I don't have freon in the car I might just disconnect the lines which might be easier.
 
Re: Installing new cam

If you want to know how to pull an engine, it might be helpful if you read the How to on it.

Just tossing that out there. You can fumble in the dark and ask questions that noobs might not give the best answer to.. or you can turn on the light and read.
 


Re: Installing new cam

Ok I'll skip on them. Finding a lot of more rust holes on the car too. Wishing I knew how to weld to fix them. Also I've decided to not go with a northstar throttle body and just port my current L67. Sorry dsmuts.
 
Doing an engine rebuild

Sort of to go hand in hand with my cam install thread but this is gonna be geared towards the rebuild/motor pull part. Here is the list of parts I plan to replace/upgrade. If you have suggestions I am glad to hear them. I wanna make sure this engine is reliable for track use.

Port out LIM to match Gen V
VS cam swap with springs and retainers
Stainless steel headers with replaced and upgraded piping size to G8 mufflers
Timing chain
Timing cover gasket set
Timing Damper
Fuel filter
Lower intake manifold gasket
Valve cover gasket
Exhaust manifold gaskets
Spark plug wires
Spark plugs-two step colder
Engine oil and oil filter with oil flush
180 degree thermostat
Replace supercharger oil

Re: Doing an engine rebuild

Personally I would do a N* have practically the exact same build you have mentioned just a 3.4 pulley on my gen v. Wouldn't waste money on cross drilled rotors upgrade to f body brakes from the junk yard same price as the rotor set for the calipers and rotors if you wait on a half off day.

Then what is your question about unhooking the AC when it's detailed down to the bolt head size in the how to? Keep in mind..I'm asking..not being critical....seems odd that you'd ask the question if you read the easiest, simplest and most detailed information you can find on it.
 
Re: Installing new cam

There is no freon in the car. Might be easier to just unbolt the two lines in the back instead of taking off the compressor entirely.
